Midlothian sits in Bremen Township in southern Cook County, where Midlothian Creek runs through the community and creates mapped floodplain along its channel. For properties near the creek, a FEMA Elevation Certificate documents the floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance rating and floodplain permits.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.

Midlothian is a southern suburb of about 14,300 residents within Bremen Township, Cook County, and takes its name from Midlothian Creek, which crosses the village. That creek drains toward the Calumet River system managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). Properties near the creek carry the clearest exposure, with Special Flood Hazard Areas following its corridor, while higher-ground areas sit outside the highest-risk zones. Owners in the mapped floodplain use the certificate for the surveyed elevations an insurer needs, for confirmation of compliance with Midlothian’s floodplain regulations, and as the survey basis for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) once a structure is proven above the flood elevation.

Yes. The creek’s corridor is mapped as a Special Flood Hazard Area, so properties near it face genuine flood exposure, while areas away from the creek carry less.
It documents your proposed and existing elevations against the Base Flood Elevation, which the village uses to confirm that construction meets floodplain-management requirements.
It can, if it shows your lowest floor sits at or above the Base Flood Elevation. That documented margin is what an insurer applies when rating the policy.
